Your theory seems acceptable to me.It would make sense anyway.

I don't find Nero being Vergil's son too strange, coming from Kobayashi who told himself he hates Vergil, so he and his team were giving a damn about Vergil's reputation;  the  same team that describe their characters ( good guys) as being " psychotic, weak, mad, moody".

Capcom hates Vergil( and other characters), but they use him(the) because they are liked in west, which means money.
